Roman Anthony went 2-for-5 with a walk-off RBI on Friday in a 2-1 win over the Astros.
In his fifth straight start out of the lead-off spot, Anthony was the hero for the Red Sox. Behind 1-0 for most of this game, they scratched across a single run without a hit in the seventh inning against Hunter Brown, held the Astros’ scoreless in the top of the 10th, and then Anthony won it when he blasted a ‘single’ over Chas McCormick’s head in center field. Him and Nick Kurtz are as impressive a pair of rookies that we’ve seen in the same season in recent memory.
